How Your Chinos Should Fit in 2022 (and Beyond)

Huge thank you to L'Estrange London for sponsoring this video! Check out the two pairs of The 24 Trouser I'm wearing in this video right here:

Chinos are my favorite type of men’s pants. Why? Because they’re incredibly versatile. They’re like the Swiss Army knife of pants. Unlike jeans, they work for business casual outfits. And unlike dress pants, they work for casual outfits.

You can chinos them with dress shirts and Oxfords. You can wear them with t-shirts and sneakers or even sandals. If I could only choose one pair of pants to wear forever, it would hands down be a pair of chinos.

But just like any other pants, chinos won’t look good if they don’t fit properly. In this video, I’m going to explain exactly how a pair of chinos should fit. Of course: fit, or silhouette, is subject to trend. Sometimes skinny fit is in, and sometimes wider fits are al the rage.

I try to give you advice that will stand the test of time. So in this video, I’ll talk about a “timeless” chino fit that will look just as good 10 years from now as it did 10 years ago.

Love the drawstring on the chinos. Should be a must have for all pants. Pants are probably the hardest fashion item for me. It’s hard finding the right fit.

This is a wardrobe game-changer! Chinos are the real MVPs of men's fashion! They're versatile enough to rock a business casual look with a dress shirt and Oxfords but also chill enough to pair with a t-shirt and sneakers. Great content again, Brock!

[andrewalexander]

Hey Brock! I was curious if you could do an updated wardrobe tour? That’s just something I’m really interested in, and I’m sure others would feel the same too

[tunguyenuc]

I really like jeans and chinos with dark colour like black, dark blue. They looks so casual and also elegant

Brock i visit my tailor and tell him about my problems with pocket flare and tilted hip crunching and he say than often the problem is not too tight garment on hips but our posture and some disfunctions. I also find some good article about this there is some nice suggestions:, (for me sizing up its never a solutions because always this kill my butt area)
THE POCKET FLARE(and front wrinkles/crunching) are caused by an athletic seat (high, prominent glutes) and/or a tilted pelvis.
Some guys have naturally strong seats and slightly tilted hips, which makes it difficult to achieve clean-looking pants off-the-rack. If you’re prone to these issues, you would benefit from bespoke trousers. As a cheaper alternative, seek out trousers that have set-forward or western-style pockets: if they’re not constructed on the side seam they will not pull open as easily.

Most often, wrinkles under the front waistband are caused by a low stomach bulge, physically pushing down on the front of the waistband. A loose waistband will only accentuate these wrinkles – so have the waist taken-in so your trousers sit snugly in place.TILTED HIP “CRUNCHING This pooling of fabric around the upper thighs/crotch is another symptom of a tilted-back pelvis. It’s very difficult to get rid of this, so try avoiding it by finding a trouser that better suits your specific needs.

In one case, I had a client/friend who was tired of this issue and asked his chiropractor about it. Apparently his posture was putting unhealthy pressure on his lower spine. He ended up solving all the issues above with some routine stretches and an exercise plan that focused on straightening and strengthening the lower spine and pelvis. He’s never felt more athletic and energized, and his pants have never looked so good.

I wear a cross between chinos and jeans. Levis but the material is not the heavy thick denim. The best of both worlds of looks and comfort.

Thank you for your channel. Love that we are nearly the same size, that helps so much.
Hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving.
Chinos are great, wore them all through college and apparently people thought I was dressed nicely all the time but in actuality I just liked that they were comfortable

[chinmaygaonkar]

the timing of this video can't be any better. I'm looking to buy chinos

[peteg]

finally i found someone with the same built as i am here in youtube.. i hate shopping for clothes especially pants cause of the way my body is built (skinny lower body). your videos will surely help me shop from now on. thanks and pls keep it going!

[rafael-rossi]

I just recently found out about L'Estrange London, so glad to see your approval and recommendation of this brand. Thank you, buddy.

[LeroyCReed]

Agreed on all. I'm a small guy, so I can sometimes pull off skinny without looking skinny.

[andrewcampos]

I have been eyeing these pants for more than a couple months now but for $150 USD and love the unique closure and waistband you mentioned. I hope I can pick up 1-2 pairs of these.

[SEAN]

I’ve bought light grey chinos a month ago and I love them! Never going back to cargos.

[haydenwhite]

Good information and brilliantly presented! I really like your channel, and specifically it's nice to get tips from someone who knows the slim build.

[r.vazquez]

Nice video Brock. As always packed with great information without coming across as a style diva. Any recommendations for how to wear burgundy boots? Perhaps a future video? Happy Thanksgiving!

[DS-jhbp]

Just found you and love your content! Great explanations, video length and delivery. Thanks!

[treehugger]

3:30 Thank you. I was debating whether take the 33 or 34 waist and I came to the same conclusion. I found myself constantly pulling up the 34.

[davy]

Great video. You covered it all and it the info will be very helpful.

[persianwingman]
